[stylist] Time to Submit - Magnets and Latters

I really don't like that they use the word "disabled".  I don't 
think that we, as blind people, are disabled.  Why not just open 
it up to everyone? That would be more fair.

Hmmmm...  Interesting...  A successful magazine publishing only 
twice a year.
What a novel concept...

(I received this.  Want you all to have the opportunity.)

Hi there,

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and is ready to start 
the new
year.  Once again, it is time to start thinking about your next 
submissions
for Magnets and Ladders.  The deadline for the Spring/Summer 
edition is
February 15.  here are our submission guidelines in case you are 
new to the
group or are in need of a refresher.

Disabled writers may submit up to three selections per issue.  
Deadlines are
February 15 for the Spring/Summer issue, and August 15 for the 
Fall/winter
issue.  Writers must disclose their disability in their biography 
or in their
work.  Biographies may be up to 100 words in length, and should 
be written in
third-person.

Poetry maximum length is 50 lines.  Memoir, fiction, and 
nonfiction maximum
length is 2500 words.  In all instances, our preference is for 
shorter
lengths than the maximum allowed.  Please single-space all 
submissions, and
use a blank line to separate paragraphs and stanzas.  It is 
important to
spell check and proofread all entries.  Previously published 
material and
simultaneous submissions are permitted provided you own the 
copyright to the
work.  Please cite previous publisher and/or notify if work is 
accepted
elsewhere.

We do not feature advocacy, activist, "how-to," or "what's new" 
articles
regarding disabilities.  Innovative techniques for better writing 
as well as
publication success stories are welcome.  Content will include 
many genres,
with limited attention to the disability theme.  Announcements of 
writing
contests with deadlines beyond April 1 and October 1 respectively 
are
welcome.

Have You Published a book? If you would like to have an excerpt 
of your book
published in an issue of Magnets and Ladders, please submit a 
chapter or
section of your book to submissions at magnetsandladders.org
<mailto:submissions at magnetsandladders.org>  The word count for 
book excerpt
submissions should not exceed twenty-five hundred words.

Please include information about where your book is available in 
an
accessible format.  We will publish up to one book excerpt per 
issue.

Do you have a skill, service, or product valued by writers? For a 
minimum
contribution of $25.00 we will announce it in the next two issues 
of Magnets
and Ladders.  All verifications of products or services provided 
are the
responsibility of our readers.  Book cover design? Copyediting?

Critiques? Formatting for publication? Internet access or web 
design?

Marketing assistance? Special equipment? Make your donation 
through PayPal
(see magnetsandladders.org) or by check by March/September 1.  
100-word
promotional information is due by February/August 15.  Not sure 
about
something? Email submissions at magnetsandladders.org
<mailto:submissions at magnetsandladders.org> .  All donations 
support Magnets
and Ladders.

Please email all submissions to submissions at magnetsandladders.org
<mailto:submissions at magnetsandladders.org> .  Paste your 
submission and bio
into the body of your email or attach in Microsoft Word format.  
If
submitting Word documents, please put your name and the name of 
your piece
at or near the top of the document.  Submissions will be 
acknowledged within
two weeks.  You will be notified if your piece is selected for 
publication.

Final author approval and review is necessary if changes are 
needed beyond
punctuation, grammar, and sentence or paragraph structure.  We 
will not
change titles, beginnings, endings, dialog, poetic lines, the 
writer's
voice, or the general tone without writer collaboration.  If your 
work is
selected for inclusion in a future "Behind Our Eyes" project, you 
will be
notified; your approval and final review will be required.  To 
insure we can
contact you regarding future projects, please keep us updated if 
your Email
address changes.

Again, we will be holding contests in the areas of fiction, 
nonfiction, and
poetry for the Spring/Summer issue of Magnets and Ladders.  All 
submissions
will be entered into the contest.  Cash prizes of $30 and $20 
will be awarded
to the first and second place winners.

I look forward to reading your submissions.

Happy new year,

Mary-Jo
